Chapter 168: Fireworks Extravaganza

With the promise and blessing of the Lin family, coupled with the recent debate with someone at the poetry meeting about Mr. Chunqiu's manuscript, the eldest lady of the Huang family, who has always been arrogant, was also convinced.

On the contrary, it is Liu Yunyao, who has been hitting walls everywhere since that day. After An Qiluo withdrew her hand, the nobles who had befriended her in the face of An Qiluo and the Duke of Qi all respected her.

In the past, there were only three or two invitations from the last family, Liu Yunyao had seen the most flashy circle in Beijing, and she had already been raised to have an appetite, and she was not willing to "surrender her identity" to deal with these women from small families.

These posts didn't feel like that in the past, but now they seem to be naked irony. Liu Yunyao angrily tore up the post in his hand and threw it on the ground.

When Liu Rumei entered the house, she saw Liu Yunyao throwing the invitation on the ground, and couldn't help but sink her face, stepped forward, and slapped it.

"Mother, why are you hitting me?" Liu Yunyao covered her face and looked at Liu Rumei with anger on her face in disbelief.

"Have you calmed down? When is it now, how can you be willful here, if you are not too useless, how can you end up where you are today? ”

Liu Rumei looked at Liu Yunyao's eyes full of disappointment, she threw the things in her hand on Liu Yunyao's body, suppressed her anger and said coldly: "Take a good look for yourself." ”

Liu Yunyao took these letters, opened them and looked at them twice, and her face suddenly became ugly: "I have nothing with He Qiongying, it's Ran Qiunian, no, it's An Qiluo, it must be An Qiluo's slut." ”

What is written on the letter paper is all the gossip about He Qiongying and Liu Yunyao's private life, I heard that He Qiongying left from Liu Yunyao's poetry meeting that day, and then publicized the love and grievances between himself and Liu Yunyao everywhere between the flower streets and willow alleys.

If it was in the past, with He Qiongying's reputation, no one would believe his words, but many nobles witnessed the events at the poetry meeting that day, and He Qiongying clearly recognized Liu Yunyao.

Coupled with Liu Yunyao's current bad reputation, the two of them get together, and they can be regarded as "the right match", and they smell the same.

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Rumei saw that there was another reason for the matter, so she patiently asked more.

Liu Yunyao hated so much that she almost tore up all the letter paper in her hand, but she looked at Liu Rumei's impatient eyes, and finally held back, she forcibly endured her nausea, and explained repeatedly:

"At the poetry meeting that day, I originally planned to use He Qiongying's hand to make Ran Qiunian's reputation stink. Who knew that Miss Lin would suddenly appear, and I didn't expect that An Qiluo's slut had been using my name to negotiate with He Qiongying. ”

Liu Yunyao trembled angrily: "Now that something happened, An Qiluo pushed it cleanly and broke all the dirty water on my body." Mother, you must help your daughter, your daughter definitely has nothing to do with He Qiongying. ”

"How did I teach you, do things by a line, since you entered the capital, you have left all my advice behind. That An Qiluo is very good-looking, you want to use her, and you don't look at your own catties. ”

Liu Rumei hated that iron could not be made of steel, and pointed at Liu Yunyao's head and said, in the end, his heart finally softened, and he said coldly:

"Tomorrow night's fireworks festival in Beijing is your last chance, I will find a way to beg the little grandfather, let him take you on a trip that night, what to do, you know it yourself."

Liu Yunyao's eyes lit up, and she didn't bother to explore how Liu Rumei was able to talk to Qi Ruoyun, so she happily agreed.

That's right, she is a person who can be taken by the little grandfather, how can she get involved with a gentleman like He Qiongying? Others have seen it, and this rumor will definitely be self-defeating.

Tomorrow, she will use the name of the little grandfather to wash away the sewage on her body, and what's more, if she can really enter the eyes of the little grandfather in one fell swoop, Liu Yunyao's face turned red, and she was a little unconsciously looking forward to it.

Liu Rumei looked at Liu Yunyao who was immersed in her fantasy with worried eyes, and sighed heavily, her children were all debts in her previous life, and she understood it now.

The fireworks festival is approaching in a flash, and Ran Qiu is thinking about the agreement with Xiao Yin a few days ago, and she is full of expectations.

"Look, how about me in this aqua blue dress?" Ran Qiunian picked up a skirt and compared it to her body, turned to the maids who were waiting for her to change her clothes and asked.

"Miss, the country is beautiful, and everything she wears looks very good." The maidservants echoed one after another, but Ran Qiunian still felt dissatisfied.

"Try the crimson one for me again." Ran Qiunian dropped the one with the blue one, and pointed to the one next to him and said.

"Miss, if you choose again, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the house in time, the eldest young master has already sent someone to ask."

The maidservant girl reluctantly brought Ran Qiunian one dress after another, and when she saw Ran Qiunian's swaying appearance, she reminded her to wake up.

Another maidservant put on the coat for Ran Qiunian, and then quipped:

"No, the eldest lady didn't like to dress up in the past, she just went out to watch a firework tonight, as if she was going out. If you hadn't gone out with the eldest young master, who would have seen it, and thought that the young lady was going to meet her sweetheart! ”

I thought that after saying this, Ran Qiunian would inevitably refute it, but who knew that she couldn't wait for a long time to hear back, the maid looked at Ran Qiunian strangely, but she saw that she was stunned, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, that's all." Ran Qiu came back to her senses suddenly, looking at the two clothes in her hands, her face was also a little unnaturally red, she coughed lightly, covered up something, chose one casually, hurriedly changed it, and walked out of the house.

Coincidentally, Ran Qiunian chose this random choice, so she chose the scarlet dress, and when she put on the red dress and walked in front of Xiao Yin, she suddenly realized that this dress didn't match the content of the maid's mouth?

Ran Qiu thought about it, and the blush on his face never subsided.

Xiao Yin and Ran Qiunian walked side by side, only to feel that this girl was not as lively as before, and suddenly there were fewer words.

In the past, Ran Qiunian was chattering non-stop, as if there was something to say, but today it suddenly quieted down, and Xiao Yin felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Ran Qiunian walked all the way, and was blown by the night breeze outside, and calmed down a lot, and the conversation box gradually opened.

"Big brother, I heard from my sister of the Lin family that the best place to watch fireworks in this city is in addition to the Star Pavilion in the palace, which is the Moon Watching Platform in the south of the city, and I don't have this opportunity to go to the Star Picking Pavilion in the palace, but unfortunately the location of the Moon Watching Platform needs to be set in advance, and there is no time at this time."

Looking at the grand scene of people on the street, Ran Qiunian said with regret.

Xiao Yin listened, looked at Ran Qiunian, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden sound of laughter.

Two children, with lit fireworks sticks in their hands, ran past them in a playful manner.

Ran Qiunian's skirt was gently blown up, and seeing that it was about to touch the burning fireworks stick in the child's hand, Xiao Yin quickly took the person into his arms, took two steps back, and avoided the two children who were fighting,

The two children didn't notice that they had almost caused a catastrophe, giggling and waving fireworks sticks with silvery white sparks, and soon disappeared.

"Are you alright?" Xiao Yin stood beside the road with Ran Qiunian in his arms and asked in a low voice.

Ran Qiunian hadn't come back to his senses yet, his hands were propped up on Xiao Yin's body, the distance between the two was extremely close, and it seemed that Xiao Yin's steady heartbeat could be heard with his ears heard.

Hearing the nice voice coming from his ears, the red tide on Ran Qiunian's face, which had finally retreated, instantly covered his entire face.

Realizing that he suddenly didn't want to leave Xiao Yin's warm embrace, Ran Qiunian hurriedly withdrew from Xiao Yin's arms with a red face.

"I, I'm fine, thank you big brother for helping just now."

Ran Qiunian said with a red face, she lowered her head, a little afraid to look at Xiao Yin's expression at this time, but she didn't know that Xiao Yin also looked away, and the root of her ears was dyed with a touch of red.

After speaking, the two continued to walk down as if nothing had happened, but they returned to a wordless quiet, Xiao Yin was not a person of many words, and when he saw that Ran Qiunian stopped talking, he didn't speak again.

The streets are lined with vendors of all kinds, including masks and lanterns, and the most popular ones are scattered vendors selling fireworks.

The fireworks sticks in the hands of the two children are the most common style among street vendors, and they are only available at this time of the year.

Ran Qiunian suddenly remembered the fireworks he bought from the street vendor with Lin Hanshan the day before yesterday, and thought that he would release them with Xiao Yin today, but unfortunately he forgot to tell the maid to bring them when he went out.

Ran Qiunian patted her head with some annoyance, which attracted Xiao Yin's puzzled gaze, and she said with some embarrassment: "I forgot all the fireworks I originally prepared in the yard, and I thought I would take them out tonight and put them outside with my eldest brother." ”

"If Nian'er wants to set off fireworks with her own hands, this street is full of fireworks dealers, and then buy them again."

Xiao Yin saw Ran Qiunian's somewhat lost eyes, and couldn't help but propose.

Ran Qiunian was a little moved, but he shook his head and didn't agree immediately: "It's time for the whole city to go off with fireworks in a while, I'm afraid I'll miss it for a while." ”

Although there are no fireworks in the sky at this time, they are all set off by the people in the city themselves, scattered and difficult to face, and after a while, it will be the fireworks of the government, and people from all over the city have been sent to prepare in advance.

When the time comes, fireworks are lit everywhere for an hour. The fireworks all over the sky are beautiful, just thinking about it, Ran Qiunian is already a little intoxicated.

"Big brother, let's find a higher position in the teahouse next to the road first, there are so many people on the street today, I'm afraid I won't even be able to grab the place here for a while."

Speaking of the fireworks festival for a while, Ran Qiunian couldn't care about the previous shyness, pulled Xiao Yin's arm with great interest, and walked to the teahouse on the side of the road.
